Here is a picture of the only American monument to Hunger Strike Leader Bobby Sands. It is in a traffic circle in Hartford ,
It is a very solemn and dignified monument. It is the only one in this country.
The three words below the name and year of death can be translated 'Our time will come,"
Tiocfaidh Ár Lá (our time will come) This is a slogan of the Provisional IRA and it has become a kind of mantra since the Good Friday Agreement. Over one hundred years have passed since the Partition of Ireland. When will Ireland the entire island be a Nation Once again?
That is a question I ask myself every day. Why can't we have a monument like this Hartford one in Rhode Island?
